Netflix Announces New Series Starring Omar Sy

Netflix has officially greenlit a new TV series featuring Lupin star Omar Sy.

Action Thriller Set in the Extraction Universe

This action thriller, produced by AGBO, is set within the universe of the popular Extraction movie franchise, which showcased Chris Hemsworth as the highly skilled commando Tyler Rake on perilous missions. The series will be helmed by Glen Mazzara (known for The Shield and The Walking Dead), who will serve as both showrunner and executive producer.

Plot Overview: A Mercenary’s Dangerous Mission

The series will kick off with an initial eight episodes, following Sy as a mercenary tasked with a high-stakes mission to rescue hostages in Libya. As he navigates a treacherous landscape filled with warring factions and ruthless killers, the narrative will delve into the emotional turmoil of complex characters grappling with trauma, betrayal, and life-or-death decisions.

Executive Production Team

Joining Mazzara in the executive production team are Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, Scott Nemes, Chris Castaldi, Sam Hargrave, Eric Gitter, and Peter Schwerin.

Anticipation for High-Octane Adventures

“Audiences are in for a thrill as we delve deeper into the Extraction universe. With Omar Sy leading the charge, our collaboration with the Russos, alongside Glen Mazzara, promises even more of the high-octane adventures that fans adore from the Extraction franchise,” stated Peter Friedlander, VP of scripted series at Netflix, in a recent announcement.

Continuing a Successful Collaboration

This new series marks a continuation of the successful partnership between the Russo Brothers and AGBO with Netflix, following the earlier films Extraction, Extraction 2, and The Gray Man. The original Extraction film featured Hemsworth as a mercenary on a mission to rescue a kidnapped teenager, crafted by Marvel veteran Joe Russo.

Omar Sy’s Rising Stardom

Extraction 2 brought together the Thor actor with director Hargrave and screenwriter Joe Russo for yet another thrilling mission. Sy has transitioned from a local talent to a global superstar, thanks to his role in Netflix’s Lupin, and he is set to debut his latest feature, French Lover, on the platform later this year.
